Isa. 3:9-11 Woe to the Wicked

Isa. {3:9} The shew of their countenance doth witness against
them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide [it] not.
Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto
themselves. {3:10} Say ye to the righteous, that [it shall be]
well [with him:] for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
{3:11} Woe unto the wicked! [it shall be] ill [with him:] for
the reward of his hands shall be given him.


They declare their sin as Sodom...they hide it not.

How true is this for our day.

So many sins are acceptable today that never were before. Sin is no longer called sin.

Adultery, fornication, selfishness, thievery, murder... yes, even murder we make excuses for, we feel less emotion for.

It's common place to hear of murder, rape, lying, stealing...common.

They declare their sin as Sodom they hide it not.

Sin isn't hidden anymore is it? It's glorified in so much we do, so much we enjoy, so much we call entertainment and fun.

We declare our sin as Sodom, we don't hide it.

The result...

'Woe unto their soul! For they have rewarded evil unto themselves.'

We do it to ourselves.

The righteous shall be well they'll eat the fruit of their doings, this is a good thing. The fruit of the righteous can only be good fruit. The fruit of the wicked is deadly.

Woe to the wicked- for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

Woe to the wicked, woe to their soul.

Do you see the big trap we've made for ourselves?

When sin is no longer called sin the complacency we are lulled into is deadly.

Woe to us.

Woe to the wicked.

As Sodom declared its sin and didn't try to hide it our world mimics Sodom.

People raise their voices to shout out their sins and call it progress, call it enlightenment, and freedom when in truth it's all death and destruction and very few will understand or see this because sin is now acceptable and those who don't accept it are the ones in the wrong. Yes, just like Sodom.

Sodom where not even 10 righteous people lived before it was destroyed.

Our generation is the same only it's not one city, it's the world.

May God have mercy on our souls and may our hearts be turned from sin and made clean by the blood of our Lord and Savior before it's too late.

By His grace, by His love, now and forever...

Amen.
